  • Description

    Hi!

    Thank you for taking the time to read my profile :)

    After escaping England, I am currently travelling to learn as much as I can about sustainable/alternate living, working with the land and the seasons, animal care, traditional practices, up-cycling building, and so on, with the hopes to one day create my own project. My dream is to one day have a remote piece of land and form an NGO that focuses on helping and healing vulnerable groups in society, combining art/ecotherapy, expressive arts, medicinal plants, animal care, regenerative farming and so on.

    A little about me...

    I have spent the past 8 years travelling and working and find it easy to adapt to new environments, routines, and cultural exchanges. I love to do anything creative that adds character and colour to a place, work with natural materials and learn from all the amazing people living alternative lifestyles. Being around open-hearted, kind and passionate people, in environments that are rich in tradition and nature is fundamental to my happiness. I'm super eager to gain more experience and knowledge in so many things; both practical and cultural!


    I grew up with many rescue animals and my love for being around them is ever growing. In my free time, I am mostly painting, hiking, wild swimming, meditating, reading, and writing in nature. I'm a sociable person and have made the most beautiful connections and friendships through years of travelling. At the same time, I am also very independent and respectful of people's space/boundaries, particularly in workaway/community living environments.
